An unaudited r/StockMarket post argued that Korea’s leveraged-ETF losses and daily-reset decay amplified the selloff even though AI demand forecasts were not cut.
That's daily-reset decay: the underlying can recover, the 2x holder doesn't. Nobody cut AI demand forecasts today.
The claim supports a mechanical-dislocation reading but requires confirmation from primary flow and forecast data.
